About

Back to All Events Pleiades Series: Emma Garau (MN), Mabel Kwan / Selina Trepp Wednesday, August 19, 2026 8:00 PM 10:00 PM Google Calendar ICS Pleiades returns on August 19 with a duo set from pianist Mabel Kwan and interdisciplinary artist Selina Trepp. Kwan’s playing brings a quiet intensity and deep sensitivity to sound, while Trepp’s work explores improvisation, perception, ecology, and intuition. The evening also features a solo drums and electronics performance by Minneapolis-based Emma Garau, whose background in DIY punk, noise, free jazz, and experimental music informs her expansive approach to sound. This will be followed by the Pleiades free improv jam which is a space for open, unstructured musical exploration. Everything is completely free improvised, meaning no pre-written music - just spontaneous, creative expression. It’s a chance to interact with new people and collaborate in an open and supportive environment. During the session, we break into small groups, and each group plays for around 10 minutes, offering a unique opportunity to listen, experiment, and respond to each other’s ideas in real-time. No experience with improvisation is required - just bring your instrument, your voice, or your curiosity! The session is open to all femme, nonbinary, and trans artists. To sign up, you can email pleiades@elasticarts.org or register at the door. The show is free for all jammers! $15 / $10 w/ Student ID - Tickets Available at the Door Previous Previous August 15 Relative Intensity Noise Next Next August 20 Improvised Music Series: Jorrit Dijkstra w/ Jeb Bishop, Mabel Kwan, Michael Zerang
